Discothique only comes once a year, don’t miss this fourth and final decadent Pride season kickoff party!

Hosted by Prismatic Productions' very own daddy, Aquarius Funkk, the final DISCOTHIQUE features performances from local drag legends Finn Gerring and Carmelita Foxx, music by Rexy Dinosaur, and an extra special farewell roast and sendoff toast to the headliner herself. VIVA The Sensation will take the stage with an electrifying set of original disco, edm, and pop songs.This powerhouse has performed for ecstatic audiences at Pride festivals, concert halls, for arts organizations, and community events at Bowery Presents venues. It is a visually arresting show with pulsing rhythms and soaring vocals over a “pristine mix of genres and styles… the ‘untamed girl’ perspective in the lyrics is inspiring,” as radio host SPARRO\^/HAWK described in a recent review. 

VIVA is the great-granddaughter of A.A. Thorne, a human rights advocate and the first person of African descent in the world to earn both bachelor's and advanced graduate degrees conferred by a British University. This legacy informs VIVA’s values of civic participation. 

VIVA the Sensation has appeared in award-winning short films, commercials, feature films, is a singer and multi-instrumentalist; and is an Indigo Arts Alliance AIR, a Maine Arts Commission Project Grant Grantee; a Grantee of the National Endowment for the Arts American Rescue Plan; an alum of Re/Union: Re-Editioning: Black + Native Histories, a convening at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts; a Music to Life (funded by the Mellon Foundation) juried artist; a Hewnoaks AIR, and a SPACE538 AIR.

VIVA the Sensation's debut single, Goddess, written in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Roe V Wade, is now available on all streaming platforms along with her sophomore track, Want Me. Audiences eagerly await the release of her latest single, Red Light Kiss, slated to hit streaming this spring. Follow the journey online at patreon.com/seevivasing, or @seevivasing on Instagram

VIVA the Sensation is not just a singer backed by dancers, but an accomplished performer, unafraid to use the whole stage and express the music with her gigantic personality. She has lived in Portland for so long that more than once the Time and Temp building has flashed her name, and even the bus stops are emblazoned with her face. The show has moments of humor, of poignancy, and a sizzling aesthetic that audiences always remember, made extra special by this ultimate goodbye party.
